Gubi MR01 Initial Outdoor Armchair Iroko
Design: Mathias Steen Rasmussen For Gubi Concept: The extremely attractive armchair designed by the young Mathias Steen Rasmussen is an armchair that exudes high quality design. The back and seat are handwoven from 90 meters of rope, using a technique that Mathias himself created. The elegant chair was originally only intended for Mathias' own home. The chair had to function as an armchair that you could also meditate in. This resulted in the beautiful MR01 Initial armchair. Armchairs manage to appear extremely light as the handwoven back and seat create an elegant and light expression, which makes the chair ideal for several places in the home. Two years after the design's debut, an MR01 armchair has now been created which is specially designed to be used outside on the terrace and in the lounge area. The chair's woven rope is made of a special polyester material, which is both waterproof and UV resistant, and makes it able to cope with long days in the sun, but it still makes good sense to treat the chair with care.
GUBI MR01 Initial Lounge Chair, Outdoor (Solid Iroko (Oiled), Sunfire Melange Beige and Sand)
With its low-slung wooden frame and nautically evocative rope seat and backrest, Mathias Steen Rasmussen’s breakthrough MR01 Initial Lounge Chair has begged to be taken outside since its creation. Where the frame of the indoor edition is made from oak or walnut, the MR01 Initial Outdoor Lounge Chair is crafted from FSC®-certified iroko. This wood has proved itself ideally suited to Rasmussen’s design, maintaining its strong silhouette through the transition outside, and helping to emphasize the MR01 Initial Chair’s sculptural quality.As with the indoor edition, the MR01 Initial Outdoor Lounge Chair’s frame is constructed without the use of screws. To endure life outdoors, the MR01’s Initial Outdoor Lounge Chair’s has custom-made high-performance polyester rope. This material is waterproof, making it perfect for the poolside; UV-resistant, so it will not fade over long days in the sunshine, which means it will not degrade. An anti-deformation core prevents the rope stretching over time.
